The scene from the fourth DNC debate, in which the moderators asked the candidates about the topic of technology and Terrorism. Sanders responded that the government and silicon valley needed to come to an agreement together without infringing on individual rights unlike the Patriot Act. Hillary answered this: https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/the-fix/wp/2016/01/17/the-4th-democratic-debate-transcript-annotated-who-said-what-and-what-it-meant/
MITCHELL: But -- but -- Secretary Clinton, you said that the leaders from the intelligence community went to Silicon Valley, they were flatly turned down. They got nowhere.
CLINTON: That is not what I've heard. Let me leave it at that.
When she said this, she smirked and lead the viewers believe some secret deal had been made which only she and the White House had knowledge of.
Then she smirked….
This is what Ryan Grim wrote in the Huffingtonpost:

If you believe what you read, intelligence community officials have begged Silicon Valley executives to work with the government to give it a key to various encryption technologies so its spy networks could get a better sense of what's going on. Silicon Valley, though, committed to its users' privacy, has told the government to take a hike.
That's the story, at least. Asked about the tech community-government interaction, Hillary Clinton pushed back on the notion that the government has been shut down.
"That is not what I heard. Let me leave it at that," she said with a knowing smile that suggested Silicon Valley had in fact been open to cooperation.
Now we have Apple being brought to court by the government with the order to help unlock the iphone used by one of the shooters in California. This is a tug of war between a well known tech company and the USA government. So…. I need to ask….was Hillary’s comment just another pile of shit? (I think so)…. Maybe some enlightened individual can help me erase (delete) that image of her smirking when she said:
"That is not what I heard. Let me leave it at that,"
